BLOODY "DULE" PREVENTED.
Messrs. Banks Hill and Charlie Little, two
well-known young men, for some personal
| affront, passed a challenge to mortal COM
bat to-day. The seconds chosen were Mr.
Claude Hunt and S. P. Gugel, respectively
| These arranged to make farce of it. Mr.
Little was afterwards brought into the
secret, Horse pistols at twenty PAGES
at 7:30 O'Clock, at the Cen
trail railroads old round-house in
East Macon were the preliminaries
agreed on. Two referees were chosen, and
at the appointed time the parties responded
to the scene. Two blank shots were ex.
changed in the twilight. At the second shot
Mr.. Little fell, apparently wounded, and
was taken up and brought to the city
Explanation afterwards followed, and the
whole affair wound up in a good-natured
way. 1t produced something of sensation
among those who were not in the secret
